Former US President Joe Biden Announces Cancer Diagnosis Amid Memoir Release

Former US President Joe Biden shared a personal health update overnight, revealing that he has been diagnosed with cancer. According to his announcement, the diagnosis occurred while he was writing his presidential memoir, titled "PROMISE ME, AMERICA", which is scheduled for release on November 17.

Biden stated that his physicians remain encouraged by how his body is responding to medical treatments. He added that the prayers, warm messages, and well-wishes from the public have deeply moved him, his wife Jill, and their family.

"Some days are better than others," Biden shared candidly. "This hasn't stopped me, but at times it slows me down. It means that unfortunately I won't be able to hold as many conversations and meetings about the book as I had hoped, but I hope the words on the page will speak for themselves."

He noted that the memoir focuses on his years in the White House, the challenges faced by the US administration, the decisions he made, and the reasoning behind them. Biden added that the book explores American identity, the global role of the United States, and his enduring faith in the American people.
